What Arieh Warshel and fellow 2013 Nobel laureates Michael Levitt and Martin Karplus achieved - beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s when computers were still very primitive - was the creation of methods and programs that describe the action of biological molecules by "multiscale models". In this book, Warshel describes this fascinating, half-century journey to the apex of science.
From Kibbutz Fishponds to The Nobel Prize is as much an autobiography as an advocacy for the emerging field of computational science. We follow Warshel through pivotal moments of his life, from his formative years in war-torn Israel in an idealistic kibbutz that did not encourage academic education; to his time in the army and his move to the Technion where he started in his obsession of understanding the catalytic power of enzymes; to his eventual scientific career which took him to the Weizmann Institute, Harvard University, Medical Research Council, and finally University of Southern California. We read about his unique contributions to the elucidation of the molecular basis of biological functions, which are combined with instructive stories about his persistence in advancing ideas that contradict the current dogma, and the nature of his scientific struggle for recognition, both personal and for the field to which he devoted his life. This is, in so many ways, more than just a memoir: it is a profoundly inspirational tale of one man's odyssey from a kibbutz that did not allow him to go to a university to the pinnacle of the scientific world, highlighting that the correct mixture of persistence, talent and luck can lead to a Nobel Prize.

Описание: This book brings together in one volume fifteen discoveries that have had a major impact upon medical science and the practice of medicine but where the scientists involved have not been awarded a Nobel Prize. Its aim is to publicize the achievements of these lesser-known heroes of our time and thereby inform and entertain the reader, whether medical student, professor or scientifically-minded layman.
"Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but is heard of, has always been heard of. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also way out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it." --Mark Twain
Even Mark Twain would be surprised that with only 0.2% of the world's population, Jews have been awarded almost one out of four of all Nobel Prizes in medicine, physics, and chemistry, while Jewish Americans have received 37% of U.S. awards. This vastly disproportionate number of Nobel Prize winners highlights Jewish achievement and contributions to mankind.
The SuperAchievers examines the following topics: - The rarified world of Nobel Prizes - Lives and discoveries of groundbreaking Jewish laureates - Prizewinners' origins, family and educational backgrounds - Factors that may explain Jewish exceptionalism - Tectonic shifts: Where Jews live now and where they used to live - How America benefited from scientists who fled Nazism - Barriers to Breakthroughs: The Jewish American experience - Women who won Nobel Prizes in science - The rise of Israel as a world science and technology powerhouse - Are science and religion compatible? - Nobel science awards around the world
You'll also discover... - The first American to receive a Nobel Prize in science--a Jewish Naval officer - The German Jewish inventor of poisonous gas used in extermination camps - Einstein's Nobel Prize was not for the Theory of Relativity - Why Jonas Salk did not receive a Nobel Prize - The 18-year-old Harvard student who was recruited to work on the atomic bomb project - The Nobel physicist who solved the mystery of the Challenger space disaster - The physician whose death was kept a secret so he could win a Nobel Prize - An entrepreneurial laureate whose discoveries led to creating major pharmaceutical companies - The oldest Nobel science prize winner--a ninety-six-year-old in 2018 - The Nobel physicists who had to wait fifty years to have their findings corroborated . . . and much more

From the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, an astounding meditation on family, self and the meaning of home.
Abbas has never told anyone about his past-before he was a sailor on the high seas, before he met his wife Maryam outside a drugstore in Exeter, before they settled into a quiet life with their children, Jamal and Hanna. Now, at the age of sixty-three, he suffers a collapse that renders him unable to speak about things he thought he would one day have to. Jamal and Hanna have grown up and gone out into the world. They were both born in England but cannot shake a sense of apartness. Hanna calls herself Anna now, and has just moved to a new city to be near her boyfriend. She feels the relationship is headed somewhere serious, but the words have not yet been spoken out loud. Jamal, the listener of the family, moves into a student house and is captivated by a young woman with dark blue eyes and her own complex story to tell. Abbas's illness forces both children home, to the dark silences of their father and the fretful capability of their mother, Maryam, who has never thought to find herself-until now.
From the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, a powerful story of exile, migration, and betrayal.
Salim has always known that his father does not want him. Living with his parents and his adored Uncle Amir in a house full of secrets, he is a bookish child, a dreamer haunted by night terrors. It is the 1970s and Zanzibar is changing. Tourists arrive, the island's white sands obscuring the memory of recent conflict--the longed-for independence from British colonialism swiftly followed by bloody revolution. When his father moves out, retreating into disheveled introspection, Salim is confused and ashamed. His mother does not discuss the change, nor does she explain her absences with a strange man; silence is layered on silence. When glamorous Uncle Amir, now a senior diplomat, offers Salim an escape, the lonely teenager travels to London for college. But nothing has prepared him for the biting cold and seething crowds of this hostile city. Struggling to find a foothold, and to understand the darkness at the heart of his family, he must face devastating truths about those closest to him--and about love, sex, and power. Evoking the immigrant experience with unsentimental precision and profound understanding, Gravel Heart is a powerfully affecting story of isolation, identity, belonging, and betrayal, and Abdulrazak Gurnah's most astonishing achievement.
